While Hungarians need to get their act together to remove Orbán Viktor - the EU could do its bit and stop funding the FIDESZ corruption machine: The commission could start by reducing the 21.91 billion euros the European Union has allocated to Hungary to finance infrastructure development from 2014-20. It should also begin proceedings to invoke Article 7 of the Treaty on European Union, which allows the suspension of voting rights of a member state that is at serious risk of breaching the values listed in Article 2, including the rule of law, freedom, democracy and respect for human rights. The commission would diminish its credibility if it fails to take steps to sanction Hungary for systematically breaching these values.
